An important issue for human beings is the acquisition of normal sexual health, including the understanding and application of reproductive health when needed. Comprehensive sexuality education is not a topic provided to many children, adolescents, or college students in the United States, however. Students who were sexually active in high school may continue to be at risk for unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases in their college life; those who chose abstinence in high school may abandon this concept in college, choosing coital behavior at all levels of university life-freshman through graduate levels. Most American college students are sexually active and many have multiple partners. This article reviews current contraceptive methods available to college students. College health providers and pediatricians are urged to be vigilant about the reproductive health needs of the college students they serve.
